Yeah same - there is definitely a practical cause & effect practical correlation, but also a lot of effect without obvious cause in an environment that should be relatively stable. (one person, small apt, no co2 sources)

I've got a CCS811 as well but no luck yet. Acquired 2nd hand so unsure if broken from shipping or I'm being stupid with code or I broke it while soldering

This reminds me how my DIY build of Luftdaten kit (PM sensor) started reporting huge particulate spikes indoors, with no obvious cause. Took me ~2 days to figure out they're being caused by our ultrasonic humidifier, and another 2 days of looking through blogs and scientific papers to finally learn that one shouldn't be putting tap water into them (as they efficiently aerosolise the minerals and contaminants dissolved in it).
